Netflix Confirms Expanding into Gaming
Thus, Netflix decided to try something new that keeps its customers and the market position. This is gaming! We’ve earlier tipped by various analysts that Netflix may introduce games as a new segment to keep users more entertained than streaming content. And this could work too. Drawing inspiration from its interactive shows like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Beyond: Two Souls, Netflix on Tuesday said to its investors that it’s exploring ways to get into gaming. In its letter, the OTT giant said, There are already two games based on Stranger Things, but not made by Netflix. The maker, BonusXP, did the first one for Android and iOS platforms, during the second one for Nintendo Switch. And these are played by enthusiasts as expected. Thus, Netflix itself making some in-house games based on its vast content will definitely see an impact. And what’s more interesting is offering these games for free to subscribers at no additional cost!
